The Gold Archive 2: Through the Valley of Shadows
Written by Alasdair Stuart
Published February 2022 by Obverse Books
Eligible in related work and nonfiction categories
The Gold Archive is a series of academic treatises on individual Star Trek stories, this volume explores pivotal Star Trek: Discovery episode Through the Valley of Shadows. A vital part of the ship, and show’s escape trajectory into a different time-frame, it’s a fascinating point in the post-modern telemetry of Starfleet’s king beneath the hill, Christopher Pike. Valley of Shadows connects The Menagerie with Strange New Worlds, as I explore the Disco and Pike’s paths into the future interact.
